Description
Directional detectors of low-energy nuclear and electronic recoils would enable unique dark matter searches and neutrino experiments. I will introduce the motivation and the CYGNUS proposal to build a large-scale detector of this type, and review R&D on gaseous detectors that achieve directionality by reconstructing the detailed topology of recoils in gas. If time allows, I will also comment briefly on broader impacts and other applications of the detectors being developed.
